Product Details

The MAX17233 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested application circuit board for the MAX17233 high-voltage, dual synchronous step-down controller. The EV kit is set up to provide 5V and 3.3V from an input voltage ranging from 6V to 36V. Each buck rail can deliver up to 5A load current. The EV kit’s switching frequency is set at 2.2MHz for both buck converters. Various jumpers are provided to help evaluate features of the MAX17233 IC.

Applications

  • Distributed Supply Regulation
  • General-Purpose Point-of-Load
  • Wall Transformer Regulation
